It’s always a treat when we find out a movie has been filmed in New Jersey, especially in an area you are familiar with.

Whether it’s one scene or the whole movie, there are a ton of movies that were shot in our state and there are more to come with Netflix's plan to build a production studio at the old Fort Monmouth.

I stumbled upon a post on the Vineland City Facebook page asking for filming locations in Vineland.

Barbhouse Productions is looking for places to film two upcoming movies. Each movie’s filming would last 3-4 weeks and they will pay a location fee.

The first location they are seeking is a “modestly priced farmhouse style home” that has a rustic and creaky feel.

This film is titled “Penitent” and is about a woman experiencing a demonic presence in her home.

The second location they are seeking a suburban home with vinyl siding and a white picket fence.

This film is called “Nanny Cam” and is about a first-time mom dealing with anxiety that comes across a demon that is using the nanny cam to cast “terrifying images.”

If you live in the area, own a business in the area, or know someone that does and think the location would be a good fit for either of these films, the production company says you can contact them at sophia@barbhouse.com
